Motorola X Phone is highly unlikely to be customizable

Last week, we heard a rumor that the Motorola X Phone could be sold as a customizable device, where you chose the hardware features you wanted, and your phone would arrive about a week later. Earlier today, Motorola advisor Guy Kawasaki hinted at a future that would offer customizable phones, of course Mr. Kawasaki never specifically indicated it would be the X Phone.

We’ve been talking with sources in the know, and from the information we’ve been given, it is very unlikely that the X Phone would be sold as a customizable device. Those close to the X Phone project said that the most likely to know about this have never heard about the plan. And, if they haven't heard, its highly unlikely to happen.

However, that’s not to say that Guy Kawasaki is not to be believed. The X Phone may not offer customization, but we’ve been told that it is a real possibility to see a Motorola device that is customizable later in the year. This makes sense because, we’ve already seen Google managing expectations about the X Phone, which would seem to indicate that the real Googley options aren’t coming with the X Phone.

I think customizable phones could be a waist of resources, although the general idea is there, and they could just mass produce their micro phone (remember Google bought the company that made the smallest phone)

Maybe what we see is two pieces one the hardware (a screen, a camera, and a battery wrapped up all together and the innards (processor ram and storage) so people who wish to upgrade to a better screen and hardware could go for a certain piece and people willing to go for new insides can go too, this is also am lot of pressure and in think the customizable part would be how much high end you want it to be, for example 3 sets of phones and 3 sets of dinars will give you about 9 different phones that can come of a result of mixed insides and outside, now aside of how dreamy the scenario looks like the amount of money needed to move those resources is big...

after having a 2.04'd Droid DNA i appreciate the Motorola dev community that are experienced enough to work AROUND a device being locked down so they can be rooted and be able to flash custom roms whereas on the DNA since it was possible to unlock it development went full force with that knowledge but now it's impossible to unlock your DNA if you hadn't unlocked it prior to receiving the latest OTA update that stops the exploits. i can't even root my DNA.
